Managing relationship with Foster mom

My youth is placed with a nice foster family. There are a lot of kids, and it's a little chaotic, but he is safe and enjoys it there. Father was just released from prison and in a sober living home. Lots of moving parts, but child not yet comfortable with visits and we are trying to deal with DCS and their visit requirements. Point is, there is a lot going on and in my court report I had the time and space to lay out the whole situation. But in the hearing, I always feel rushed and let's face it, it can be intimidating. Anyhow, foster mom and I have a good relationship for the most part, but she is extremely opinionated and always tells me after the fact that I should have said this and should have said that. And I'm just like, lady, I had 3 minutes to speak and tried to focus on the items of most importance. I thought I did a good job getting my concerns heard, but it's never good enough for the mom. Any thoughts/suggestions?
